Sometimes people get so involved in their lives and what they think is important that they don’t see the people around them. Robert is that type of person. He’s always thinking of his great plan for his life and he is too busy to see the wants and needs of his family. While Robert is so unconnected with his family, young Nathan’s family is very close. Then the Andrews family receives news about Nathan’s mom that will have a life-changing effect on both families.

This is an endearing story that will pull at your heart strings. I must warn you however that the topic regarding a terminal illness and the death of a parent may be upsetting for some viewers. But this movie does show that Christmas is a time of blessings and miracles. If you loved the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” you will enjoy “The Christmas Shoes.”
